Sustainable supply chains are an increasing priority for companies, governments and other organisations around the world. And it’s no wonder.
Not only are customers and consumers increasingly concerned with the environmental footprint of the goods and services they purchase, but research shows that organisations can enhance their performance by improving the sustainability of their supply chains. For organisations making a commitment to sustainability, the supply chain should be a priority area. For example, Walmart found that 88% of its carbon footprint is in the control of its suppliers.

Abu Dhabi's Plan 2030 establishes a clear vision for sustainability as the foundation of any new development occurring in the Emirate and capital city of Abu Dhabi. This commitment is a reflection of the values and ideals of our nation.

The tenets of sustainable living in the Middle East is the guiding force behind Estidama.

More than just a sustainability program, Estidama is the symbol of an inspired vision for governance and community development.

A lot has changed in the past 5 years: global climate change has gained greater recognition as a concern; phthalate plasticizers, halogenated flame retardants, bisphenol-A, and other chemicals have emerges as health concerns. Estidama has launched The Pearl Rating System, and green building has edged its way into the main stream vocabulary. However, this surge in green building, coupled with the relative youth of the industry, has resulted in many misconceptions or exaggerations of what makes a product or material green. The term used for this type of misconception is 'Greenwash'.

V164-7.0 MW

What is it

The 164-7.0 MW introduces design choices to drive your profitability to new levels in offshore wind.

Maximising the amount of energy capture, not only with the huge rotor diameter of 164m, but also through an optimal rotor to generator ratio

Reducing operations and maintenance costs by enabling customers to run fewer, larger turbines

Reducing the scale and risk of investment required, as fewer turbines also means fewer foundations and less cabling

Where can it be used

For every offshore wind power plant.

Why is it green

Wind power is clean

Wind power produces energy, pure and simple. No CO2, no other greenhouse gasses, no hazardous waste left behind as a poisonous legacy for future generations. And, unlike coal and nuclear plants, it doesn’t swallow huge amounts of water – which is itself becoming a scarce resource.

Clean energy efficiency for the entire life cycle

A Vestas 3.0 MW wind turbine produces the same amount of electricity as 13,000 barrels of oil each year – without the emissions. But clean energy also has to be assessed on a power plant’s entire life cycle, from construction to dismantling. Even with the environmental impact of raw materials, manufacturing, transport, service and disposal, a Vestas 3.0 MW onshore turbine is carbon neutral after only 6.6 months of energy production. As a further benefit, 80 per cent of each turbine we make is recyclable.

Leading the world in sustainable energy

At Vestas, we already lead the world in turning wind power into clean, sustainable electricity. But we also want to lead by example. So by 2020, more than 90 per cent of our own internal energy needs will be met by clean electricity.

Other information

At Vestas, the design and planning of a new wind power project always begins the same way – by listening to you, the customer, and understanding your commercial needs and how to turn them into reality.

Although the cost of the turbines typically represents approximately one third of the total capital expenditure for an offshore project, logistical decisions – such as weight, size, service access, etc. – impacts on other costs along the value chain. That’s why we consider all the factors at an overall project level, rather than simply at an individual turbine level.

Business case certainty is key. Using our three decades of industry experience, we’ve combined proven technology and innovative engineering to design the ultimate offshore turbine.

Previous offshore turbine types have been adapted from onshore equivalents. The V164-7.0 MW is taking the full step and has been designed from the first nut to the last bolt with challenging offshore conditions in mind.

By raising the bar for the industry, we’ve created the most convincing financial proposition ever for offshore energy investment.
